    Question

    ​Consider oxygen gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP). What is the approximate weight (in grams) of one mole of oxygen molecules at STP?

    A.

    16

    B.

    64

    C.

    8

    D.

    32​

    Correct option is D

    The correct answer is: (d) 32

    Explanation:
    • One mole of oxygen gas (O₂) contains two oxygen atoms.
    • Atomic mass of one oxygen atom = 16 u, therefore O₂ = 16 × 2 = 32 g/mol.
    • Hence, the molar mass of oxygen gas at STP is 32 grams.

    Information Booster:
    • One mole of any gas at STP occupies 22.4 L.
    • O₂ is a diatomic molecule, not monoatomic.
    • Molar mass helps in converting moles to mass in chemical problems.
    • STP (Standard Temperature & Pressure) = 0°C and 1 atm.
